Going Varsity In Mariachi

Achieving what most documentaries should: introducing me to a subject that I knew NOTHING about, this is the Hoop Dreams of the South Texas high school mariachi world. Functioning like a sports movie we follow one high school “team” as they travel, struggle, and compete in regional tournaments. It’s inspiring and warm-hearted. Everyone in this tiny subculture seems extremely nice. The filmmaking is polished and the pace is enérgica. Well-done.
